Mission Statement
The Indiana Statesman and iQ magazine exist at ISU for
three main reasons, all of which are part of their mission:
- To serve the campus as public forums for accurate,
fair and comprehensive news and information, specifically about the
campus but also about the state, region, nation and world. This public
forum concept includes the expression of student opinion, which state
and federal courts have, for nearly four decades, found to be
constitutionally protected, especially at public universities such as
ISU.
- To offer student staff members chances to apply their
skills of writing, reporting, editing, photography, graphic design, ad
sales, marketing, product delivery and promotion.
- To give students opportunities to fill
leadership positions and learn such things as providing direction;
setting an agenda; selecting, organizing and managing a staff of student
peers; conceiving and putting into force a content plan for a
publication; building teamwork and consensus; and meeting production
deadlines.
